Swiftel Center Helps City of Brookings Build Carts

Last week, a group of employees from the Swiftel Center assisted the Brookings Regional Landfill in assembling 793 new yard waste carts for the city.

Back in February the Brookings City Council voted to purchase the yard waste carts to replace the paper waste bags residents had been using. And last week their plan went into action.

A Semi Truck full of supplies was driven to the Swiftel arena where the team unloaded the materials. They worked together, while maintaining social distancing standards, and assembled the yard waste carts.

Carts are now being delivered to residents who have requested them. No additional cost is required from residents as it's included with their service.
